Expert opinion for previous vintages
Château Bauduc Rosé (Bordeaux) 2019
I can’t say I spend any time drinking much (or indeed any) rosé, nevertheless this one won me over. It has a great colour, a peachy sunset-pink, and most importantly a nose of fresh rather than sweet or confected fruit, all crisp strawberry and leafy raspberry, with nuances of peach stone, pear and acacia. It has such delicious vigour on the palate, showing weight but also poise and energy, the substance cut by a fresh acidity and citric energy. It is so delicious and so fresh, with a long, tingling finish too. Bottled under Stelvin screwcap. From a 2021 Update. 92/100
Chris Kissack, thewinedoctor.com. January 2021.
“The Bauduc Rosé is something of a revelation… It is a delightful wine. Aromatically I find delicate red fruits, with notes of peach and tangerine. It shows a lovely structure in the mouth, possessing the feel of a white wine, light and fresh, and imbued with vibrant acidity. This is really good…”
Chris Kissack, thewinedoctor.com
“Very pale pink. Fresh, red fruit aromas - raspberry and redcurrant nuance. Clean and dry on the palate but with an underlying ripeness of fruit. The freshness is what appeals. Delicious.”
James Lawther MW, Contributing Editor for Decanter magazine
“The other day I had Chateau Bauduc’s lovely Bordeaux Rosé, which goes against the region’s general trend of harvesting late by picking grapes (merlot and cabernet) early to keep the style fresh, dry and modest in alcohol (12% abv). You can buy the wine, which stocked at Rick Stein’s restaurants and Gordon Ramsay’s, direct from the chateau.”

MFDM
Region: Spain, Rioja
Grape variety: Garnacha Tinta
Geology and soil: Flor de Muga comes from a dozen carefully chosen plots in the areas of Alto Najerilla and the upper parts of the Oja Valley. Both have a semi-continental climate and an age of between 70 and 90 years. Goblet vineyards, with low yields and mostly on slopes. Both the characteristics of the clay-calcareous and clay-ferrous soil, the location and climate make it ideal for maintaining the fresh profile necessary for rosé wines of great complexity.
Winemaking process: Grapes harvested manually, at their optimum moment of ripeness, transported to the winery in small boxes and with refrigerated transport, to keep all the aromatic potential intact. After A short maceration, where it is kept in contact with the skins, 50% of the first must that comes out of the press by simple gravity (free-run must) is selected. It is then fermented at a low temperature in small oak vats, plot by plot. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is preserved on the fine lees for a minimum of 4 months, performing periodic bâtonage (putting the fine lees in suspension) to protect the wine naturally by maintaining the aromas and providing volume in the mouth. At the end of this process, a tasting is carried out, plot by plot, to define the final assembly.
Tasting notes: Bright pale pink colour. On the nose it stands out for its great complexity and intensity where aromas of red fruit, stone (peach, apricot), white flower and citrus appear. All of them are characteristic of the Garnacha Tinta variety. You can also appreciate a subtle spicy note (vanilla, cinnamon) from the elaboration and aging in small wooden vats. On the palate it is very elegant and balanced. It has a marked acidity that gives it length and liveliness. Once again, the fruity notes appear in the mouth, especially the apricot. The finish is very long, fresh, with a very soft tannin that gives it structure, making it a very gastronomic wine.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate - Luis Gutiérrez (14/07/2022) - 93+ Parker Points: Vintage 2021: “I tasted the very recently bottled 2021 Flor de Muga Rosado, from a cooler year that resulted in a wine with 13.8% alcohol and notable freshness and acidity. The wine fermented in oak vats where it matured for four months with the fine lees that were stirred. It was a cool and rainy vintage with some challenges with oidium and mildew but very good for fresh wines. This is very pale and subtle but with good ripeness in the late-ripening zone where these grapes come from. It's fresh and light to medium-bodied, with clean aromas and flavours. It's elegant and subtle, terribly harmonious with complexity and depth. Possibly the finest vintage to date. Delicious! 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022.”
MROS
Region: Spain, Rioja

A rosé wine with good structure and surprising complexity.

FSMMR
Region: Spain
Grape variety: Garnache & Tempranillo
Background: Mucho Más Rosé is an attractive wine, with pale tones and a distinct personality. The versatile Grenache contributes to the aromatic richness by fixing the final colour and tonality. The boba grape so typical of quality rosé wines gives it freshness and aroma, finally the tempranillo grape contributes to the final and round balance, offering a long and persistent step in the mouth.
Winemaking process: Information The aim of the blend was to create a distinct style of wine, taking advantage of the qualities of three different but complementary grape varieties from several notable wine regions in Spain. The vinifications are carried out in stainless steel tanks for 20-25 days with maximum temperatures of 15 ºC. Once fermentation is finished, the wine remains in contact with its lees for 2-3 months to develop its characteristic secondary aromas.
Tasting notes: Intense pink colour stands out for its bright reflections. On the nose, aromas of red fruits dominate. On the palate it is fresh with balance between fruit and acidity standing out for its harmony and sweet sensation. A smooth palate while persistent.
Food pairing: It accompanies all kinds of starters, especially with fish and seafood recipes and with exotic or oriental touches.
